New football staff costing University of Kentucky $720,000 more than old

The last of the University of Kentucky's nine new assistant football coaches have finalized their contracts. After a long delay, safeties and special-teams coach Bradley Dale Peveto signed a deal paying him $300,000 a year.

Wide receivers coach Tommy Mainord will make $200,000 a year, and cornerbacks coach Derrick Ansley will get $125,000 the first year and $250,000 the second.

All three, like most of the staff, are signed through Dec. 30, 2015.

The new staff, including head coach Mark Stoops, is costing UK $720,000 a year more than the old one (based on averages of Stoops and Ansley's contracts, which have raises built in at various points). Just counting assistants, the difference is $220,000.
